From eaaaf8abdc9a9f3493f2cb6a751660dff3f9db57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2022 10:39:32 +0100 Subject: KVM: remove support for kernel-irqchip=off -machine kernel-irqchip=off is broken for many guest OSes; kernel-irqchip=split is the replacement that works, so remove the deprecated support for the former.
